Twins signed RHP Edward Mujica to a minor league contract.

Mujica was let go by the Royals earlier this month. The 32-year-old has pitched to a disappointing 4.76 ERA over 45 minor league appearances this year. He'll report to Triple-A Rochester. Aug 20 - 6:50 PM

Mujica hooked up with the Royals on a minor league contract in mid-July after being released by the Phillies. In 12 innings at Triple-A Omaha in the defending champs' system, the veteran right-hander was roughed up for 11 runs on 17 hits over 12 innings. He has not pitched in the majors since he posted a 4.75 ERA while splitting time between the A's and Red Sox over a combined 47 1/3 innings in 2015. Aug 10 - 9:54 PM

Royals signed RHP Edward Mujica to a minor league contract.

Mujica requested his release from the Phillies on July 14 after failing to earn a promotion to the major league despite posting a decent 3.69 ERA, 1.179 WHIP, and 27/4 K/BB ratio in 39 innings this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He could get a shot soon in Kansas City. For now, the veteran righty reports to Triple-A Omaha. Jul 15 - 3:33 PM

Mujica requested his release after going three-and-a-half months without a promotion to the major leagues. He had registered a 3.69 ERA, 1.179 WHIP, and 27/4 K/BB ratio in 39 innings this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Some team will give him a shot, though it will probably have to come on another non-guaranteed minor league deal. Jul 14 - 10:46 AM

Eddie Rosario has been diagnosed with a fractured thumb and is done for the rest of the season.

The injury does not require surgery and only requires six weeks of rest and rehab, so Rosario should be 100 percent leading into spring training next February. The young outfielder batted .269/.295/.421 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases in 92 games this season for Minnesota. He drew just 12 walks in 354 plate appearances.

Twins chief baseball officer Derek Falvey said that Glen Perkins has made "solid progress" in his rehab from shoulder surgery.

Perkins underwent significant labrum surgery in late June. Falvey indicated that given the pace of his rehab, it is "reasonable" that the veteran closer will be able to pitch in games during spring training at some point. A more clarified timetable figures to be passed along after the calendar flips to 2017 and the team has a better idea of just how close Perkins is to a return to the mound. He started into a light throwing program near the end of October.
